Where Do you Keep Your Passwords?

Password keeping is getting tough these days but we need to keep up with it to keep our accounts secure. Passwords and user name requirements are getting longer and requires alpha numeric characters and some capitalization thus this makes it hard to remember.

With these said most people end up using the same password on multiple account if you're one of them be warned it is dangerous. If so happen one of your account was hacked then considered all has been hacked, or if had opened an account to some bad websites the require your e-mail add as the user name and you have used the same password as your e-mails password on to that account then they already have an access to your e-mail account which might contain more links to you other accounts.

So where do you keep your password?

There are lots of password keepers software out there but it will also require you to have one password to protect all your other passwords, and if you lost this one password then you lost all (if you can't remember them). You could write your password on a text file or XLS file, but someone got their hand on it then they had your passwords too.

Leave your suggestions on the comment on where is the best place to keep your passwords.

Do Want to see Who viewed your Profile on FB?

Do want to see who viewed your profile on FB? For what ever reason you may have better think again because this is agains FB's policy (FB faq=12903 ) 


So if ever there is an app that would offer you this capability think twice or maybe more because more likely they are fake or even worst they are just rogue apps that would steal you identity. Legitimate FB apps would probably follow the guideline set by FB.

I conclude that this rogue apps is just using your curiosity enthaising you to use their app. You may need to sign up for their free service so they could capture some information from you or you maybe forwarded into a fake facebook website asking you to log-in, if your not careful enough they will have a chance and capture your FB username and password and all the information you have there.

Be Aware You Have Been Warned.

Free Anti-Virus Software for Simple Users - Part 2

I have written about free anti virus program in the past but now it is not about free antivirus program that has limited functionality, this about a full version.

Did you know that most of the high speed internet providers offer a free anti-virus program? Yes it is free and it is full version. Check out the website or call them to find out how you could get a free antivirus program. I have Comcast as my ISP and through them I was able to download and install the latest Norton Security Suite for free.

COMCAST

For Comcast you will need to download install comcast security software called Constant Guard before you can download and install the free Norton Suite. Constant Guard is Comcast software that adds another layer of security for you internet banking passwords. I just had a minor problem with Constant Guard, I cant use the Yahoo Messenger while it is running so I had to uninstall it and just use Norton Security Suite.
